Maxed Vanilla Difficulty

Regional difficulty is a value between 0.00 and 6.75 that the game calculates by considering the world difficulty setting, the inhabited time of a chunk, the total daytime in the world, and the phase of the moon.

The clamped regional difficulty is a value between 0.00 and 1.00 based on regional difficulty.

Both of these values affect the difficulty of gameplay and are core mechanics of the vanilla game.

This mod sets them to their respective maximum value.
